Contracts with public agencies and private vendors for assistance in establishing paternity or support obligations.

Each child support enforcement agency may enter into contracts
with public agencies and private vendors for assistance in establishing
paternity or support obligations, or for the performance of other
administrative duties of the agency. Each child support enforcement agency may
contract with a collection agent for the collection of arrearages owed under
child support orders being administered by the agency. If the department of job
and family services or a child support enforcement agency contracts with a
collection agent for the collection of arrearages, the collection agent is not
required to be licensed as a private investigator under Chapter 4749. of the
Revised Code. Before entering into a contract for assistance in establishing
paternity or support obligations, for other administrative services, or for the
collection of arrearages by a collection agent, a child support enforcement
agency shall comply with sections
307.86 to
307.92 of the Revised Code and any
rules adopted by the director of job and family services pursuant to section
3125.25 of the Revised Code.
